LGALS14 (Galectin 14): LGALS14 is a member of the galectin family, a group of proteins that bind beta-galactoside sugars and help regulate cell-to-cell and cell-to-matrix interactions. Galectin 14 is primarily expressed in the placenta and plays a role in immune response regulation and fetal-maternal tolerance. Proper expression and function of LGALS14 are critical for a successful pregnancy, and abnormalities in this protein have been associated with pregnancy complications such as preeclampsia and intrauterine growth restriction, highlighting its significance in reproductive health.
